☆ wicca...

How long have I been a wiccan: started in early 2021

Favourite crystals: Rhodonite and emerald

My familiars: my sleepy female kitten, Kyubey, my male maine coon cat, Thorin, along with my 4 female pet rats (Kanga, Leto, Roo, and Nilkilium)

Favourite incense: there was one that I got from a random batch, and it smelled amazing, except I was never told what it was. It was a dark purple, and smelt almost like grape and pine mixed together with something fruity. But a nameable one - probably dragon's breath or lavender

Most used/favourite herbs: I use lots of dried roses and all spice berries in my spells

Solitary or in a coven: I'm not really sure. I don't consider myself solitary, as I have practised spells with my mother, and I'd love to have a coven, but I've worked alone or more with spirits quite a lot. But I'd be interested in joining a virtual coven or something for sure :)

Type of witch: I am a mix of a hereditary witch, a green witch, and a draconic witch. I own lots of herbs and involve them in my spells, have wiccwn ancestors, and I also have lots of dreams about dragons and own lots of dragon oriented things, and have a dragon spirit guide.

☆ hellenism...

How long I have been a hellenist: since the start of 2025

Deities: Aphrodite for sure, and I've had a pull toward Zeus, Hestia, and Gaia, although I appreciate every single possible deity.

Altars: sadly, I have not been able to start one, but I have some things (crystals, little offerings, etc) that are devoted to them. I'm hoping to get a shelf up in my bedroom so I can start on an altar for Aphrodite | but in no way are altars absolutely necessary. You can worship anyway you want !

digital offerings for your deities ♡

I love digital offerings as a hellenist, plus they're so simple and enjoyable to make !! here's a little list of things you could do with the usage of apps, websites and games :)

• Minecraft

I created an entire world on Minecraft for some of the goddesses, Aphrodite and Demeter. It's so symbolic, too, as you can add in all of the things associated with them—like their sacred animals, crystals, etc etc. And it fits any sort of gameplay, too! Survival gameplay, peaceful/creative gameplay, and even creative on a flat world where the entire world is just a canvas. Or it's fun to recreate landmarks in greek mythology !! Or make a skin based on them !! As you must pay for Minecraft, Boku Boku is a good 2D alternative, and I believe it's available on most mobile devices for me anyway :)

-

• Dress To Impress

This is apart of the roblox hemisphere of games, lol. But its so fun going on freeplay mode and basing the outfit off of one of your deities, or even something symbolic to them. Or do a challenge playing in regular/pro/master servers or even style showdown where every fit has to have some symbolic meaning to your deity, no matter the theme.

-

• Picrew

Go ahead and make them on picrew! There's lots of different picrew options, firstly. And as I've said with pretty much every option, make it instead something symbolic to them.

-

• Pinterest

Pinterest boards are absolutely perfect for digital offerings !! There can be so many sections of it, too. Like altar inspo, things you want irl to offer to them, a board simply just of their aesthetic, and its a perfect digital altar as a whole. The best and most flexible option, in my opinion.

-

• Tycoons

I'm speaking more of the behalf of more customisable Tycoons, sort of like Restaurant Tycoon 2 on roblox, not disney princess ultimate tycoon or whatever where it isn't as customisable. Customise everything with the vibe of that deity! I have an Aphrodite restaurant on Restaurant Tycoon 2 atm, ehehe.

-

• Wattpad

This one is VERY flexible, so much so that it's hard to explain. And if you don't have wattpad or simply dislike it, then you can always use the notes app instead if you don't want to publish it. You could make an entire story based off of that deity, literally or symbolically—though that's quite a big thing, since you'll also be designing characters, writing, making whole plot points... the app Fortelling is also good if you want to get really into it. However, you could just also write poetry for the deities, or just prayers. It would also be nice to publish them for other hellenists or even just fans of greek mythology to observe :)

-

• Gacha

Entering the gacha hemisphere of games, you could design characters or make a gacha devoted to a deity of yours !! And there's so many different apps too, though I recommend Gacha Life 2, as its very flexible with character design. I recommend Gacha Life (1) for the most simplicity, and Gacha Club for an in-between. Proud Gacha kid since 2018 ♡

-

• The Sims

Also super duper flexible! Make a house based off of them, design a character based off of them or even one that worships them, so many possibilities!

-

• Spotify, Apple music, YouTube music, and others

Music apps! Make a playlist for them, or just devoted to hellenism itself. There's also playlists already out there that you can listen to!

-

And so, so many others !

I can't put the amount of digital offerings you can do into words! There's simply so many, but I will likely update this in the future to create an even bigger list. Comment more suggestions or scroll through them to find more ideas! ♡

Anger is a gift

O' determined Aphrodite. O' mighty Ares. I pray to you, consorts in burning passion. With gratitude I preach your reminder of How much dormant self-worth and hurt pride Reside in vitriolic anger. May your presence teach me how to harness it, How not to spiral in its thorny whirlwind And choose when to release its poison. This I pray, as your humble worshipper. Blessed are your names, Aphrodite Areia and Lord Ares, Olympian bringers of retribution!

Aphrodite; forgiveness

O Aphrodite, Goddess of love and compassion,

I come before you with a heart in need of healing.

Grant me the strength to release the burdens of anger,

And to forgive those who have caused me pain.

Help me to let go of the past,

And to open my heart to peace.

Guide me in releasing all grudges and resentment,

So I may make space for love and light to fill me once again.

Teach me to forgive not only others,

But myself, for holding on to hurt for so long.

May your love guide me in letting go,

So that my heart may always be open to peace and joy.

[wiiiowsden]

♡

[wiiiowsden]

I love seeing something small that reminds me of a specific deity of mine and just getting that feeling of being blessed.

I saw some really pretty roses today, the sun shined bright for me this morning, and before I went to bed, the sky was clear, and the moon was also looking down on me. Thank you, Lady Aphrodite, Lord Apollo, and Lady Selene ♡

Simple Ways to Practice Magick Everyday

Say a small prayer or do a short meditation before you get out of bed in the morning.

Write down dreams or visions you had.

Stir your first cup of coffee or tea counterclockwise to banish negativity and bad luck or clockwise to bring positive energy.

Draw daily tarot or oracle cards (you can also use a pendulum) for guidance.

Cleansing yourself and home using sound or smoke.

Ancestor or spirit offerings

Pick out your clothes, shoes, jewelry... ect with intention.

Write a sigil or petition paper and burn it.

Take a ritual shower. You can spice it up with candles, herbs, and crystals, or you can simply step under the water and imagine all the negativity and bad energy washing off you. You can also recite a chant.

Every time you look into the mirror, say an affirmation

Take a walk outside and ground yourself to Mother Earth.

Dance!! Dancing is an excellent way to rise the energy, and it helps with opening the sacral and solar plexus chakra and getting in touch with the inner child.

(As I am just starting out Hellenism, critiques are encouraged <3)

A prayer to Lady Aphrodite

praying for recovery, healing, and calm ♡

· · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · ·

To my Lady Aphrodite,

Feminine Embodiment of Love & Fertility,

Tendrils of Roses Blossoming at Your Feet

Your Heart One of The Purest,

Leaving Life Feeling Complete,

And no Longer Shattered

My Heart, Scarred, Lies Bittersweet

In Need of Restoration,

Might Just Heal in Your Company

May I Continue to Flourish,

Just Like The Climbing Rose,

Everlastingly, Determined Blooming,

Tendrils Reaching Up Until no Longer Meeting The Land

Before Bracing Itself Into Your Warm, Guiding Hands

Golden Fingers Stretch Across the Horizon,

Painting The Vast Surface Of The Ocean

With Glowing, Golden Hues,

Resembling a Glimpse of The Shining Hair

Cascading Down a Godly Picture of Divine Beauty

May I Heal, All of it Devoted to You

To The Calming Aura of The Sea, I Pray
